Acosta: “I finished a good year that started very badly”

Date:

“My conclusion from this season is that it is going smoothly,” says the man from Mazarrón after winning in Cheste and fifth in the World Cup

The season ended with a highlight for Pedro Acosta, with a stunning victory in front of 92,000 spectators at the Ricardo Tormo circuit in Cheste. The rider from Mazarrón was the best rookie of the year in Moto2, finishing fifth overall in a world championship won by his teammate, Augusto Fernández. Behind the Balearic Islands were Ai Ogura, Arón Canet, Tony Arbolino and the aforementioned Acosta.

The Tiburón de Mazarrón has won three races, punished too much in the battle for the title for his five Grand Prix in which he went to zero, including three in the first six rounds of the championship. His fall and subsequent thigh surgery prevented him from competing in the Netherlands and Great Britain, causing him to retire when he was at his best.

All in all, the man from Mazarrón is left with the positives of his first year in Moto2. “My conclusion this year is that things are going slow. Even Jerez is not that it went bad. August [Fernández] He had ten points more than me. And that I had fallen four times and he had fallen once or twice. I want to congratulate you [a Augusto Fernández] because in the end the championship he has achieved has been very good and he is just champion. We both improved by sharing a team,” said Acosta, 18.

It is clear that he will start next season as the favorite for the title. For now, the pressure is off. “We are going little by little. I ended a year that started very badly. And this also helps me to learn. When we only had four races, you came into my box and you got depressed. It seemed that everything was a disaster. And it wasn’t like that,” said the man from Mazarrón in an interview with DAZN.

Fermín Aldeguer, who finished fourth in Cheste on Sunday, is also expected to record better results with the Boscoscuro team next year. The 17-year-old from La Ñora finished 15th in his first full campaign in the Moto2 World Championship. And the third driver of the region of the category in 2023 is Borja Gómez, from San Javier, 17 years old and who will debut with the Fantic team, heir to the Italian VR46.
